(USA) - Activist and author Larry Kramer gave a 60-minute speech last night at New York's Gay & Lesbian Center to mark the 20th anniversary of the activist group ACT UP, born of the AIDS crisis two decades ago. Kramer relives that troubled time and the birth of ACT UP in his remarks, calling it "the most successful grass roots organization that ever lived. Period." He speaks about the current state of gay culture, Presidential politics, the recent remarks by General Peter Pace, and the need for a new activism, a "gay army" to take on our enemies.
